Many of the serious racers remove their tables to save weight and open up below decks for work. I also bought a J30 without an interior table (actually with about a little interior as I imagine is legal without being called stripped! I'm also working on putting ceiling strips in and a floor.). Dennis Bartley was nice enough to sell me his table, which he hadn't used in 12 years. I think it will be nice to have an original J30 table instead of a jurry rig. I'm in the process of installing it now. 2" PVC makes nice mounting pieces in the keel sump.
Any tables out there collecting dust? I suspect there's a market for them.
